Room was not cleaned bins not emptied beds not made requested extra towels waited 2 hours for extra towels. Air conditioning was not working extremely hot in room very uncomfortable. Pool showers were dirty mould in showers. No towels I. Pool area had to request towels for pool. Parking excessive price. Charge on bill for dining incorrect as there was a charge for expensive drink we did not order on our bill which had to be removed. Very disappointed with the hotel as expected more as have stayed at Rydges in other locations many times and am a member.

Good things: breakfast is very good, we really enjoy it. Not so good things: curtain in the shower is dirty and moldy (definitely it doesn't cost a lot to replace this curtains), jacuzzi is dirty (dirty corners all around the tab), sauna also looks very much used. Showers for males under renovation and it is no place for males to clean themselves before entering swimming pool and jacuzzi.

They don’t clean the rooms, there’s dust everywhere. The room was run down. Hotel staff need a hospitality refresher or perhaps a need of an attentive floor manager. Restaurant not always open, even coffee service needs to wait for operating hours. Housekeeping only available during the day. That’s probably why they don’t clean properly.
